Overview:

Help quickly deploy efficient Layer 3 gigabit switching with Networking™ 7024F, featuring robust security and high availability stacking and management. With 24 fiber Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports available for wire-speed switching and long-haul connectivity, the 7024F is designed to scale with your network as it grows.

High throughput: Supports wire-speed performance with up to 24 ports of GbE and optional 4x 10GbE uplink ports and/or stacking at 64Gbps of bandwidth.

Scalable with high availability: Manages up to 12 wire-speed switches as a single unit, each with optional redundant power.

Energy conscious: Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) architecture helps reduce power to ports in sleep mode or cut power to inactive ports while the 80 PLUS-certified power supply lowers overall power and cooling costs.

Stack up to 12 switches (managed as a single unit) for high-performance availability and failover deployments, including those with Networking™ M6348 high-density 48-port I/O modules for the PowerEdge™ M1000E blade enclosure.

Lifetime Limited Warranty

Networking™ switches not only provide the quality, reliability and capability you expect from Dell™ but also the peace of mind that guarantees hardware for life — a true Lifetime Warranty.

iSCSI optimization

Help save time when configuring your iSCSI SAN. The Networking™ 7000 series of switches automatically detects EqualLogic™ arrays and configures the switch for iSCSI environments, at both global and port levels. The 7000 series also provides information about all active iSCSI sessions to help enable easier management and optimization.

Rapid deployment and configuration

Help save deployment time and costs by simplifying your network rollout with Networking™ 7000 series of Gigabit Ethernet switches. Use local USB to easily assign switch configuration, updates and addressing during initial rollout. You can also choose alternative auto-configuration options, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Robust management

You'llenjoy a number of management options with the Networking 7000 Series switches, including:

A powerful and industry-standard command-line interface

Remote management using an embedded web server

Support for SNMP-based management applications

Managing up to 600 ports from a single IP address in a stack of multiple 7000 series switches

Automated security

Select from multiple security levels, with options that include such enterprise-class features as:

The Networking 7000 switches also help simplify security rollouts by allowing you to try your implementation before fullenforcement is enabled. This helps smooth your transition to a secure network for your enterprise.

Dell Networking 7000 Gigabit Ethernet switches are Layer 3 scalable enterprise switches that give you the power and flexibility you need for today and the future, offering advanced switching capabilities including high-density, 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, high-performance stacking, high redundancy and availability, scalable from the small business to the campus Edge.

The Networking 7000 series switches are designed to offer secure, fi xed-port Gigabit Ethernet switching solutions which deliver full wire-speed switching performance. With 24 or 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a 1U form factor, the Networking 7000 series has a total switching capacity of up to 224 Gbps to support demanding network environments. The switches also offer simple management and scalability via a 128Gbps (via two stacking modules) high-availability stacking architecture that allows you to manage up to twelve switches from a single IP address, and share the upgradeable 10GbE ports across the stack for uplinks to the next layer in your network. The switches are designed with power-saving features including Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) ports to help reduce per port power consumption while decrease cooling and power costs. Select models offer 24 & 48 ports of PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), support for high- power WLAN Access Points (WAPs), Voice over IP (VoIP) handsets, video conferencing and security cameras up to 30.8 watts of power.

High-performance and high availability for small cores and enterprise

The Networking 7000 Ethernet Switch family is designed for enterprise applications where high performance, high availability, and energy efficiency are key requirements. Operating at wire speed, the 7000 switches deliver up to 160 Mpps throughput and a data rate of up to 224 Gbps (full duplex) for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 environments.

Switch stacks up to 600 ports can be managed from a single screen using the highly-available (HA) stacking architecture, for high density aggregation with seamless redundant availability and single IP management of an entire rack. Fast stack failover enables sub-50ms failover scenarios. The 7000 family can also stack with the Dell M6348 high density Ethernet blade. The 7048R modelenables a resilient HA core switch design with redundant internal power supplies and fans, reversible airfl ow (back-to-ports and ports-to-back model options) and dual fi rmware image support.

The switches also support rapid USB auto-confi guration so you can rapidly deploy the switches in minutes without setting up complex TFTP confi gurations or sending technical staff to remote offices.

Robust security

Advanced security features of Networking 7000 series switches help protect the network from accidental or malicious interference. Edge authentication using IEEE 802.1x provides a meaningful security solution which is centralized and easier to manage than standard ACLs, and the monitor mode of the switch allows for easier rollout of 802.1x in new environments. The Networking 7000 series provides password management for increased network security, encrypted management traffic through SSL or SSH and secures SNMP access by fi ltering hosts based upon IP address. MAC-based port security is designed to prevent unauthorized MAC addresses from accessing the network. RADIUS and TACACS+ support enables centralized, remote authentication of administrative access to the switch. Private VLANs and administrative profi les are also supported.
